Tolstoy query

[Rodney Patterson]

To the best of my knowledge, Tolstoj's house (now the L. N. Museum --
Muzej-usad' ba L. N. Tolstogo) on ulitsa L'va Tolstogo, no. 21, is a little
more than a block away from the First Medical Institute (Pervvyj medicinskij
institute) on Bol'shaja Pirogovskaja ul. 2/6.  Ostroumov's clinic was there
and  this distinguished doctor taught there from 1871-1903.  He died in
1908.  From Tolstoj's house, which the writer bought in 1882 and spent all
his  winters there through 1901, one needs to walk north-east to where ul.
L'va Tolstogo ends at Bol'shaja Pirogovskaja, turn right, walk a block,
cross ul. Timura, and the Institute will be to your right.  For verification
of dates, residences, etc., I suggest you visit the Gosudarstvennyj muzej L.
N. Tolstogo on Prechistinka, no. 11, phone / fax 202-93-38, and / or the
Filial Gos. muzej L. N. Tolstogo on Pjatnickaya ulitsa, #22, phone
951-74-02.  Good luck!

Aleksej Aleksandrovich Ostroumov worked / taught from 1871-1903 at what is
now (or the last I knew) the Pervvyj medicinskij institute on Bol'shaja
Pirogovskaja ul. 2/6.  Died 1908.
